Elvis! There. Is. No. Butter. Here!

It appears Elvis is trying to hop the train to Buttertown again!

Well, now I want popcorn with lots of butter, nutritional yeast, and smoked paprika …

I like Elvis’ interpretation of the season of giving.

Elvis is arguing in a distinguished manner. Puck’s being smart.

Looks like the “season of giving” is strictly for the birds.

Tell this to Foxy. She licks butter every chance she gets. She also likes a little mayonnaise.

Butter is dairy, so many cats love it.

My late, lamented Nimitz would get on the counter and lick the edges of the butter dish because he could reach it.

I love how Georgia’s signature is BOP and the date!

OT

It is in the 0 temps here and I know that it is colder north of me. For those of you north of me, please stay safe and know that you are in my prayers. It is in the 0 degree here and moving to -1 and -2 or even lower here. I pray for everyone that is in the US that is experiencing the cold vortex that is beyond normal to be able to survive this and come out stronger for it, just have faith in your higher power and you’ll get thru it. I’m having faith in my higher power to get through this!! And I’m praying for you all to get through this too, through my Higher power! Love you all!!

Tis the season of giving.. so give your brother some of Dat popcorn.

I hear Elvis’s “Give me the popcorn” in the style of “Show me the money.”

Good thing Puck is here to be the voice of reason!

I thought Elvis’ opinion on popcorn was it was Styrofoam. Can’t find the strip right now, sorry

Popcorn is very good for bears. So gimme all that popcorn NOW!

Tis the season of giving folks. So gimme all your foods now.

Abba: Gimme Gimme Gimme

Half past dinner

And I’m watching the Man and the kids popping corn

How I wish for just a taste, just a piece of my own

Need some butter

Just add a bit of flavor for this hungry meese!

And all I ask is just one tiny piece if you please!

…….

So much popcorn there

Cat, please answer my prayer!

…….

Gimme, gimme, gimme just one piece of popcorn

Just one single taste to chase the blues away!

Gimme, gimme, gimme just one piece of popcorn,

And maybe some ham or bacon to get through the day!

Oh really? butter is the only people food that my cat will eat!!! just a spot from my finger is it really bad for them?

Elvis should know popcorn is bad for animals…＞﹏＜

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At Punn State University

Alice-Ata: Class, let’s review the five rules of cheeetaking:

1. Never take more than you can lift

2. Always be aware of your surroundings

3. Have an alternate escape route just in case

4. Make sure no one is watching

5. Enjoy your cheese!

Violet-Ifa: Also remember don’t be too greedy. Just greedy enough. Remember, there is enough cheese for everyone.

Ta-Natash: And if you run into trouble, remember your friends have your back.

Agnes-Ata: Now, let’s all say our motto together, 1, 2, 3!

All: We’ll Never Tell!

Is popcorn good for birds? I didn’t know that.

Nothing to add, I am Elvis here. Gimme the popcorn! Perhaps I will make some to get me through the upcoming storm. It is looking nasty.

O/T: Oliver had his vet visit yesterday (appointment moved up due to impending blizzard.) Doc thinks he’s about 3yrs old & probably a wayward housecat judging by his tameness. He got wormed & vaxxed for distemper & rabies & scheduled for ‘fixing’ (though he isn’t broken.) Like most cats, he hated the car ride, but forgave us with head-butts & biscuit paws & had a good meal when we got home.

Salt and butter aren’t really great for People, either, but what’s a little hypocrisy between species?

My cats always want to sample just the smallest bits of popcorn. I don’t use butter and just a few pinches of salt to a bowl. With that recipe, they find one kernel, broken into pieces satisfies their … curiosity.

My dog is thwarted in his popcorn begging because of that one dog of my childhood who always begged for popcorn and then yarked it all right back at us.

Mr Kitty wanted two kernels. One for licking, and one for killing and hiding under the china cabinet to fossilize.

O Buttertown, O Buttertown

How lovely are thy sticks!

O, Buttertown, O Buttertown

Glory in the sacred dish!

How lovely are thy pats of gold,

So tempting to the meezer bold.

O Buttertown, O Buttertown

A creamy dream to be-hold! 

I could go for some popcorn. Minus the salt and butter, of course.

I mean, it IS proper stove-top popped popcorn—the best kind!

Come on, Puck, give Elvis one piece of unseasoned popcorn. He will lose interest quickly because it isn’t seasoned.

OT, I went to the bakery/deli in my neighbourhood. They were out of mince tarts (bummer), but I got lots of other baked goods. What drove Smudge nuts was the smell of the roast beef/salami sandwich I got for my dinner tonight. I’ve promised him some of the roast beef when I take it out to eat. Mouse isn’t interested at all in people foods.

Elvis no.. you know how one piece turns into the whole bowl

I took the old 1940s Kenmore popcorn popper to college with me (it worked for heating soup, too, if you were extremely careful) and kept it for many years afterward. Finally tossed it when the cord reached super-scary condition and I was unable to find a replacement. It was probably a fire hazard anyway, you had to watch it like a hawk because there was no on/off switch and it had only one temperature—red (literally) hot!

Cats love butter and salt.

Elvis a cat after my own heart. I’ve used that line myself a time or two.

First cat I’ve heard of to like popcorn beside Garfield. Not the first I’ve heard of to like butter.

Y’all stay safe and stay warm up there, Y’here?

OT: A present for all of you.

I haven’t read all the comments, so not sure if it has been mentioned or not, but I’m going with Elvis toebeans at the very bottom of the last panel. scaeva will say I’m delusional, but I’m EEEEEEEEEEEEE!ing anyway!

I don’t see any mention here of Jorts, the Twitter-famous office cat whom one employee had to be told not to put butter on.

I remember my sister used to constantly quote this line from “Family Guy” made by Lois, “Don’t let the cat lick the butter! If cats lick the butter, they’ll get worms!” :P I don’t know how true that is . . . lol

It started snowing a little over half an hour ago. The ground is already covered. The wind chill warning starts around 1:00 AM, same time as the new BCN drops.

So I was describing to one of my kids the recent storyline of Iggy popping out at everyone & getting his name – Iggy Pop. And when I also mentioned to my kid that Iggy only has one eye, she immediately said…

“Oh! Iggy Popeye!”

a call back to when Elvis got covered in butter!
